Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Perturbo code workshop in September 2023 (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
We encourage interested students and postdocs to register for the workshop using this Google form (please click here). The deadline to register for the in-person workshop is August 20, and the deadline to register for the zoom workshop is September 15. Note that the in-person workshop is capped at 40 participants. Registrants to the in-person workshop should provide a CV and a motivation statement in the form. We will select and notify in-person attendees; those not selected will be automatically registered for the Zoom workshop. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer financial support to attend the workshop at Caltech.
– Theory of electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions and transport / ultrafast dynamics in the
Boltzmann equation framework and beyond.
– Code download, build and setup. Preliminary steps and interface with other codes (DFT/DFPT with Quantum Espresso, Wannier function generation with Wannier90). Postprocessing with Perturbopy.
– Tutorials and hands-on sessions: calculations of e-ph matrix elements and scattering rates; charge transport and ultrafast electron dynamics in the Boltzmann eq. framework.
– Advanced topics and recent developments, including: e-ph interactions in the presence of anharmonic phonons, polarons, excitons, spin-orbit coupling, and strong correlations; spin-phonon interactions and spin relaxation times; magnetotransport; electron-defect interactions; high-field transport and velocity-field curves; data-driven methods (among others).
